“BadPacketException”-Error on the LAOS-Driver identified

June 8, 2012

Hi,

I think many of you got the “BadPacketException – Datagram length too short” when using the LAOS-Driver in the past. The problem was “spaces in the filename”. You can set a prefix for lasercutter-jobs in the preferences of the lasercutter, which defaults to “visicut “. This leads to filenames like “visicut 2.lgc” in the LAOS driver, which causes the error.
To fix this, either upgrade to 1.3.4, which automatically removes spaces in the resulting filename, or just change the prefix to something without spaces.
